À propos de cet audio

The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, is examined not as an unforeseeable surprise, but as a tragedy preceded by multiple warnings that went unheeded. Reeves details three critical missed opportunities in the 24 hours before Japanese planes appeared: a crucial intercepted diplomatic message delayed by bureaucracy, radar operators who spotted the incoming aircraft but were dismissed, and the USS Ward's engagement with a Japanese midget submarine that didn't trigger an alert. Through interviews with survivors and historical analysis, the episode reveals how assumptions, communication failures, and organizational blindspots prevented effective action even as evidence of the impending attack accumulated. The aftermath transformed America's global role and approach to intelligence gathering, creating systems designed to prevent similar failures in the future.
